Both sides clash for a second time in the league this year with all eyes on getting maximum points.

The Lagosians come into the contest off the back of a 2-2 draw in the Lagos derby after conceding a late goal. As visitors in this tie, they seek redemption – and their first set of three points – against opponents that started their season with a win.

For Sporting Lagos, their task is made harder by their poor record against Real Sapphire. Can they pick up a win against the odds this weekend?

STAT ATTACK
